Happy Birthday to the USMC!!

Today is the 234th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps. My husband is
a Marine Corps vet so I have a special place in my heart for Marines.
Take a minute today to thank a Marine for their service. (If you don't
know any personally, there are some you may know as blog readers --
people like Steve Schippert and Bob Hamer.)

Better yet, help a wounded warrior with a contribution to the Soldiers' Angels Valour - IT program.
Their annual fundraiser is almost over so they could really use your
help today. I am on Team Marines and we have almost reached our goal.
Here is a description of the work Valour - IT does (via Michelle Malkin):

Valour
IT provides adaptive technology to help severely wounded vets recover
faster, establish a support system, and regain their independence.
Since the program began, every single dollar raised by Valour IT has
been used to provide:

Cassandra at Villainous Company has a Marine Corps birthday post and roundup including links to posts from around the blogosphere.

In honor of the day, take a minute to read
about Medal of Honor winner Corporal Jason L. Dunham, USMC or watch the
following video of President George W. Bush awarding the Medal of Honor
to Corporal Dunham, postumously.

Birthday - the most important holiday in the life of every person, because it is a personal celebration, this anniversary of the appearance of man on earth. Ambient hasten to congratulate the "baby", to say the kind only he (or she) would provide the words. It should be noted that the birthday greetings sound different depending on whom congratulations.
